| Abstract: |
Elegance in structures can manifest itself in a variety of ways; from visual appearance, design innovation and efficiency, construction ingenuity, to close collaboration between disciplines. Moveable bridges must be designed to work structurally, mechanically and visually throughout a series of varied states, and as such, they must exhibit these attributes both statically and dynamically in order to be seen as elegant structures. |
